Bad People Asks: Is reality TV really entertainment?

Sofie Hagen speaks to former Love Island contestant, Niall Aslam.

Niall Aslam was a popular contestant on ITV’s Love Island back in 2018, but he ended up leaving in a shock exit after just over a week in the famous villa. The papers at the time reported that his departure was due to ‘personal reasons’. It later turned out that those reasons were in fact a breakdown of his mental health – the stress-induced psychosis which he believes was the result of the lack of adjustments made for his disability. In this special episode, Sofie Hagen speaks to the Niall about his experiences.

Warning: This episode may contain sensitive topics and some strong language.
